Health Care Originals

Health Care Originals

Health Care Originals was co-founded by Sharon and Jared Samjitsingh in Rochester, New York. Sharon has managed severe asthma since birth, experiencing multiple near-death episodes; that history drives the firm's focus on patient-centered respiratory care rather than device sales alone. The company's "Why" statement frames its work as a mission to serve over 500 million people worldwide living with chronic respiratory conditions, a number they expect to grow with climate change. HCO operates across two main business lines. ADAMM (Automated Device for Asthma Monitoring and Management) is a wearable sensor that tracks coughing, wheezing, respiratory rate, and activity patterns, translating them into lifestyle and medication guidance through a companion app. The Nightingale Virtual Respiratory Care service pairs device data with regular access to respiratory therapists and health-and-wellness coaches via 12-month subscription plans branded as Hover and Fly. Geographically, the firm serves the United States from its Rochester headquarters and deploys ADAMM-RSM for clinical trials, collecting real-world evidence across diverse populations. HCO remains a compact operation — the company describes most of its team as personally affected by respiratory conditions. No outside capital structure, fund vehicles, or institutional investment partnerships are disclosed on the firm's website. The absence of named allocators or deployment figures suggests the firm may operate as a bootstrapped or privately financed health-tech venture rather than a traditional investment management entity. Structurally, HCO diverges from standard digital-health plays by selling clinical-trial data services and direct-to-consumer care subscriptions under one roof. That hybrid model — medical-device R&D, real-world evidence generation, and ongoing patient care — gives the firm a recurring revenue stream tied to chronic disease maintenance rather than episodic treatment.
